No More Waiting, She Chooses Love -
Chapter 205
I was hell-bent on getting into that car, and surprisingly, it turned out to be way easier than I thought.
But tracking down the address I needed was going to require a bit more cunning.
"Luke, can you pull over? I feel queasy and think I'm gonna hurl," I said, feigning discomfort as we passed a pharmacy.
"Sure, sure," Luke glanced at me through the rearview mirror and quickly agreed.
Once we stopped, Luke turned to me, concern etched in his features, "Felicia, what's wrong? Do you need to go to the hospital?"
"It's probably just something I ate at Herschel's. I think his homemade chili might have upset my stomach," I replied, knowing bringing Herschel into it would make Luke take the situation more seriously. Clutching my stomach, I continued, "Luke, could you grab me some omeprazole? I'll feel better after taking one."
Luke nodded, though he still looked worried. "Are you sure you don't need the hospital?"
I stayed silent, and Luke got the message.
Having been around the Wagner family for years, he knew better than to take me lightly, even if I wasn't currently in Conrad's favor.
Luke hurried out of the car, and I quickly added, "And grab me a bottle of water, will you?"
"Drinking cold water might make it worse. There's warm water in the car; I'll pour you some when I get back," Luke said, still concerned as he glanced back at me before heading to the pharmacy. Watching him rush off, I stealthily got up and leaned over to check the navigation history.
Sneaking around like this was nerve-wracking; my heart was pounding at least at 180 beats per minute.
I was constantly looking out the window to make sure Luke wasn't coming back. Thankfully, the pharmacy was on the other side of a barrier, so it would take him some time to return.
I scrolled through the navigation routes, but, oddly enough, I couldn't replace what I was looking for, even after going back a month.
Was I mistaken?
I kept looking, determined not to give up, until I saw Luke coming back with the medicine.
My heart rate skyrocketed. I alternated between watching Luke's approach and frantically scrolling through the navigation records.
Then, a hidden route caught my eye.
Normal routes wouldn't be hidden unless someone didn't want them to be found.
I had a hunch this was the sanatorium I was looking for.
But it was password-protected, and I had no clue what the password was.
This was Luke's car, but the password was likely set by Herschel since he was the real owner and the one who decided where they went. Luke was just there to drive. Thinking it over, I decided to try entering a password, but I didn't want to guess blindly. Incorrect guesses would only raise Herschel's suspicions, and I only had three tries. What password would Herschel possibly use?
As I pondered and watched Luke cross back over the barrier, I realized I didn't have much time. He would be back in two minutes, and I still hadn't figured out the password. Feeling the pressure, I decided to take a risk. Herschel adored Jacqueline, so her birthday immediately came to mind.
But the screen flashed "Incorrect Password."
I took a sharp intake of breath as Luke was now less than 100 meters away.
Closing my eyes, I tried to think harder. I still believed the password had something to do with Jacqueline, so I tried their wedding anniversary next.
Again, "Incorrect Password."
Panic and desperation reached their peak. I had one last try before the system locked me out. But if I didn't take this chance, I might never replace the address.
Luke was now less than 50 meters away, and I could almost feel his gaze through the tinted car windows.
Racking my brain, I suddenly remembered something Conrad had mentioned. He said his parents were always fair to both him and his brother, even using both their birthdays as their bank PIN. With Luke almost at the car, I hurriedly entered the combination of Conrad's and his brother's birthdays.
And just like that, the hidden route was revealed.
